Lucky old me.

Hi All. We've just returned from a week away in beautiful Cornwall so I'm refreshed and ready to start sewing again. As I mentioned in my last post I received a fabulous package of goodies from my Christmas in July swap partner Kelly. She sent lots of beautiful gifts, here they all are.

We had to make a Christmas stocking or santa sack. Kelly made this lovely, huge bag.

This Santa has been appliqued onto the bag with blanket stitch.

I love these jingle bells sewn onto prairie points.

Kelly also made this beautiful wall hanging.

I love the hanger, it's so pretty.

This is a shopping bag. What a great saying.

Look at this selection of delights. A magazine, Australian fabric, sewing theme badges and a pretty address book.

I even received some pretty jewellry which I've had the pleasure of wearing and a cute little bag which I used to take my jewellry on holiday in.

Just look at these cute little chaps, they'll look great on our christmas tree.

Thanks very much kelly, you sent a very generous, beautiful parcel.

Due to circumstances I received twowonderful parcels in this swap from Stephanie and Kelly and I've therefore decided to do a give-away which will be open just to other membersof the Christmas in July swap. As I've received so much I thought it would share things out a bit. I'm not giving away anything that Stephanie or Kelly sent though, they're all mine! I'll come up with a parcel of goodies, not sure what yet though. I'll post about it when I get my act together.

Welcome Back Maria! What a lovely package of gifts from Kelly. I love those jingly bells on the prairie points. Pretty jewelry pouch as well as the jewelry. Keep me posted on the giveaway and I'll do a blog post about it.

Hi - What a lot of lovely gifts you've received. I love the detail of the bells on the prarie points and the stitchery. I think you've been quite spoiled but then everyone deserves that once in a while. :)
